While testing the gearbox on a 68 Johnson electric shift I found that when I put 12v to on wire it would shift into fwd gear, 12v to the other wire put her in reverse, no voltage to either would give me neutral-- and 12v to both wires would lock the gearbox. Something seems to be working, just not properly... as I understand it.
I thought power to one wire (can't remember the color) produced neutral, and then both gave you reverse, and then zero voltage defaulted you to fwd so you could get back to the dock after a system failure. Are the older engines different somehow, or do I have a faulty lower unit?
Thanks
